Our financial statement services provide the assurance you need to meet regulatory and end-user requirements. Continuing education keeps our professionals up-to-date on reporting and compliance issues and a focus on communication keeps our clients informed. This allows for both proficiency and efficiency in serving our clients’ needs.

Our assurance services include:
- Audits: This is the highest level of assurance given. Our audit
  report expresses an opinion as to whether the financial statements
  are presented fairly in accordance with GAAP standards. This
  includes an internal control review with written recommendations.
- Reviews: This involves performing inquiry and analytical procedures
  to provide a reasonable basis for expressing limited assurance. A
  complete understanding of internal controls is not required.
- Compilations: No assurance or opinion is provided and financial
  statement information is presented as management’s representation.
  These reports are generally limited for internal management use.
- Special Services Engagements: We can apply agreed-upon procedures   when you need an analysis or assessment of reporting processes/controls
  or other matters. This includes due diligence, internal controls testing,   targeted compliance work, in-depth special projects or an examination of   specific accounts.

Proper planning and communication allow our audits to progress efficiently and minimize potential obstacles. Deadline dates are scheduled according to an agreed upon timetable which can be adjusted as your needs change. Our planning memo is sent in advance and outlines required client information and confirms fieldwork dates. This allows you ample time to prepare information and have records accessible. Our management letter addresses recommendations to improve internal controls or other operating efficiencies. Our auditors also “look beyond” with a comprehensive approach to see if other areas of improvement can positively impact results.

Our audit engagements follow a rigorous
internal review process, ensuring the highest
quality of service to our clients.
